ut. A lot of people use wikispaces for their classrooms and their are other alternatives out there too. Here is a previous thread on the wiki topic. Here are the search results for "wikispaces" on this site. Also be sure to go to the classroom 2.0 wiki (link is at the top nav bar) where you can see quite a few options beyond just wikis.
Good luck.…

o tempting to not switch to google and have a complete solution. In our district we already use google earth, sketch up, reader, docs and some gmail.

I don't mind PBWiki, but, to get the same bells and whistles that Wikispaces offers, you have to pay for it.... even for educators. :(
Just throwing my two cents in. :) I love what any Wiki has to offer my kids though.... we are just getting used to it.…
who would like to have a low key collaboration with my students. The stories are already written in wikispaces and it would be a snap to join in the fun.…
ce-face work is for students and teachers. I feel fortunate to have embarked on wikis and Ning and everything else - just in time, I think. I wonder if teachers are using both Ning and Wikispaces (or other wikis) together to enhance their work?…
Hello,
What is the difference between wikispaces and PBworks? They both seem to be very similar. Are there pros or cons to using either in the classroom?
Thanks,
Christy
